it helps that MCU movies are generally pretty good compared to something like The League of extraordinary Gentlemen which was like universally negatively reviewed

maybe people would have shown up more for the lower tier characters if the movies werent garbage

That was precisely the reason I cited The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (which funnily enough is now owned by Disney). It was probably the closest thing to The Avengers before The Avengers but it was generally agreed across the board the execution was, to put it simply, left wanting.

Certain filmmakers would have you believe that merely putting popular characters in a movie together guarantees money. It didn't until The Avengers because no one knew how to execute the concept properly. Heck even after that it didn't guarantee money, see the theatrical cut of Justice League.
